Chairman of the football club said he was happy to keep the Seaclose alternative on the table should the council and public agree it was the better option
The chairman of Newport Football Club urges fans, staff and players not to panic over news they have been served notice to quit their ground by August 2017.
Plans by South Coast Leisure will provide the club with a new floodlit pitch, main stand and bar/function room facilities on land off The Racecourse on one of the main routes serving Newport.
Secretary of Newport FC Supporters Trust says there are very sound footballing reasons for upgrading to an all-weather pitch, as it will always be available for training and matchday use.
South Coast Leisure have submitted and application to Isle of Wight Council which claim to create up to 200 jobs in a new retail and leisure park in Newport.
